Outrighted To Triple-A: Joe Benson, Eduardo Sanchez

The Rangers assigned outfielder Joe Benson outright to Triple-A Round Rock, according to executive vice president of communications John Blake (on Twitter). Benson was designated for assignment by Texas earlier this week.

The Cubs sent Eduardo Sanchez outright to their Triple-A affiliate, according to the MLB.com transactions page. Chicago designated the right-handed reliever for assignment three days ago. Sanchez, 24, registered a 1.80 ERA with 10.5 K/9 and 4.8 BB/9 in 30 innings for the Cardinals back in 2011 but has struggled to stay healthy in recent years.
